Hello,

One month ago I've met Sabayon for the first time.
I've got Sabayon 6 K, and now I've installed Gnome too.
Now, what's the recommended upgrade path? Entropy/Sulfur, equo or CD?

Thanks.

Sabayon is a Rolling Release, so after you have done an

Code: Select all: equo update

followed by

Code: Select all: equo upgrade

and there's nothing more to install you are already at Sabayon 7! :wink:

Is it possible that not all mirrors to be upgraded?

Code: Select all: equo upgrade >> @@ Calculating System Updates... >> @@ Nothing to update. >> @@ Nothing to remove. >> @@ Configuration files scan complete.

No, don't think so.

Do

Code: Select all: equo search sabayon-skel

If you have "sabayon-skel-7-r3" installed, congrats you have a fully updated Sabayon 7!

Is there any other way to check that?
Do logon and splash screens look different from 6?

This package was only one example of many ways to check where you stand with your installation. Believe me you have Sabayon 7 already. I would say already for some days. The sabayon-skel-7 package for example is on my system for at least two weeks now. No other logo, no other splash screen. Everything that's on the Sabayon 7 iso were there already on the Sabayon Mirrors before the actual release...

Confusing...
The announcement was indeed made much later than my last libstdc++ upgrade (by about a week).
I would also expect to have more fuss before such event occurs, and new art for a major new release version.
So, I'm a happy Sabayon 7 user already :mrgreen:

I've never seen such smooth transition, you know, and this is so cool!

Yes, that's a one of the big advantages of Sabayon. The sabayon-skel-package is a good way to see the road to the next version.
So someday when you see something like "sabayon-skel-8" in your upgrade list, you'll know "Ok, transition to next Sabayon-Version has begun"...

I had the same doubt. I'm using xfce and I didn't know that my Sabayon was already upgraded to 7 till now.

But, why /etc/sabayon-edition and/or /etc/sabayon-release files are not updated?

Code: Select all: $ cat /etc/sabayon-edition /etc/sabayon-release Sabayon Linux 6 x86 XFCE Sabayon Linux x86 6

/etc/sabayon-edition is not supposed to be updated, it shows your original Sabayon version (the one you used for your installation), about /etc/sabayon-release file, see these posts:
